Ready…Set… Holiday season has begun!

Halloween is just around the corner, and that means that Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and other holidays are on the way. That may mean lots of preparation on your part, and maybe some family care issues too! For instance:

•  Are teachers' conventions, school holidays, or snow days approaching when you'll need back-up child care coverage?

•  Need in-home care for elderly relatives arriving for a holiday visit, so you can maintain your work schedule during their stay?

•  Do you expect a visit from friends or family who are disabled and who require special equipment like a wheelchair or bath bench?

•  Are you planning a trip that will require pet boarding ?

•  Do you have a high school senior finalizing his or her college applications, and could you use more information on planning and financing their education ?

•  Or, do you have younger high school kids, and want to start researching appropriate colleges for them?

•  Want to find a fitness club so you can “tone up” before all the holiday partying and eating begins?
